Oh, Peace. Your posts have always meant so much to me. You have such a way with words.....
I wish I was like the scarecrow on the Wizard of Oz - with no brain. Then I couldn't think as much as I have been. Her at my daughter's school functions, her at my daughter's graduation....geez, I have even covered her wedding......
I just don't know what would happen if I lose my kids more. The every other weekend is so hard for me. I have just always wanted to be a mom. "Momming" them has been a dream come true for me.
Do you really tell them that Daddy is sick now? I just don't know what to say to them when they return after the weekend. Obviously Daddy doesn't think he is sick, but I also really worry about the lessons that he is teaching my daughters. I want them to know right from wrong. He is just making such bad decisions.
What Cinderella message did you get?
Some friends of mine - a husband and wife - came to "kidnap" me tonight to force me to go out. She has been so mad at H and this latest news hasn't helped. Her H has been good (great) friends with H for years and has maintained this friendship even after our separation. It has caused some challenges in their marriage, much to my sadness. We were talking about someone at school and he looked me square in the eye and said that he wasn't a good judge of character. I just smiled and he repeated what he said and asked if I understood. I told him yes.
I have told his wife very little, because he was friends with H and I didn't want to put them in the middle (even though she is one of my closest friends). But I did tell her about this latest situation - her girls are friends with mine and I wanted her to be prepared in case her girls came to her.
